the obama camp released a new ad this morning targeting what it calls romney's foreign policy inexperience. >> when our u.s. diplomats were attacked in libya, "the new york times" said romney's knee-jerk response showed an extraordinary lack of presidential character. even republican experts said romney's remarks were the worst possible reaction to what happened. if this is how he handles the world now, just think what mitt romney might do as president. >> that's what you call a preemptive strike. joining me now, cnn contributor l.z. granderson. he leans left. senior political consultant on the rick santorum presidential campaign and republican political consultant john brabander. welcome to you both. john, let's start with you. the obama campaign is, like, offering this prebuttal. good strategy? >> well, i think they're very much on unsafe turf here. this is a president whose only foreign policy experience when he was elected was as a state senator in illinois which is none. second of all, this is the exact same president who got caught whispering in the ear of the russians that we were g

is the obama camp doing the happy dance? >> well, they're not doing a happy dance, carol, because the president is always the first one to say that even though we are headed in the right direion, and these numbers continue to prove that, we're now at the 31 straight months of private sector job creation. he says there is a lot more to do. he knows there is a lot more people out there that want jobs, that need jobs, and it is always a reason he talked about for the policies he's putting in place. we're going in the right direction. it is working but we need more to do. it is important psychologically because it is now below 8% and he's also now at a net job creation number for his term. it has taken away two important talking points from the republicans in terms of the jobs numbers. >> and i'll ask you this, some conservatives are coming out and saying that these jobs numbers are skewed. and something has been done to them and they're not accurate. >> well, one thing they are doing is they're taking out a sizable number of pe
